21 Day Fix

That’s right folks.  I’m heading into another weight loss program!

I’ve been intrigued by this program for a while now, and have heard really great feedback.  Back when we did our family weight loss challenge (in between being pregnant with Maddie and Levi) I remember that Luke was doing it a little bit.  And on the weeks that he was really sticking to the plan he was shredding those pounds like crazy (really giving me a run for my money!).

Basically the idea behind the program is that you do one of the 30 min exercise programs each day and then only eat what can fit in each container.  And, as an added bonus I got the containers as a white elephant gift a couple years ago (who’s laughing now? Ha!).  I did my homework yesterday and went shopping for fresh fruits and veggies and have been mustering through my first day.  The first day is always the hardest for me.  Actually the first 3 days are always the hardest because I’m genuinely hungry.  But I know after just a couple of days that gets better and it’s not nearly as hard.

However, this program is pretty specific, so I’m finding it’s taking a lot of prep and energy to make sure I eat what I’m supposed to eat.  I think it’s probably good that it’s harder for me since that gives me a challenge and I usually enjoy a good challenge.  Especially one where I could reap a really good weight loss goal at the end.  😉

Oh, and in good fun I’ve also made myself a paper chain to rip off each day.  Actually I’m going to do it at night once I’ve completed my day.  It will give me something to look forward to.

So, at the end of each post for the next 21 days I’m going to write a simple one or two sentence recap of how the day before went.  Just to try and keep myself accountable.  This should be fun!
